Chapter 443 Full Moon Immortal Body
When the Twisted Monster was mentioned, many of those present had experienced that battle.

The thought of those twisted monsters still sent chills down their spines and raised goosebumps, demonstrating the instinctive fear they evoked in living beings.

The horror of the twisted monsters lies not only in their grotesque appearance, but also in their relentless pursuit of life and death.

Even if you manage to kill the twisted monsters you encounter, their deaths leave behind a mysterious curse that goes unnoticed.

Thus, their group will follow the curse until they eventually transform their opponent into a twisted creature as well!

The Holy Ancestor once read a true story in an ancient book.

That was a cultivator in a small world who unintentionally killed a weak, twisted monster that had wandered from the Boundary Sea. Afterwards, it attracted a group of twisted monsters to seek revenge.

The horde of twisted monsters not only killed the man, but also transformed him into one of their own kind.

Similarly, the world that person lived in and all the living beings within it were devoured and transformed by the twisted monster.

Ning Qi looked at the Holy Ancestor's clone and Zhi Li. He wasn't particularly afraid of the twisted monster, but he was curious about another keyword the two mentioned.

Immediately, a faint wisp of black smoke emerged from his fingertips, and he addressed the two:

"You just mentioned boundless evil energy, is this what you're referring to?"

The Holy Ancestor's avatar stared at the evil energy in Ning Qi's hand.

The evil energy was only a tiny wisp, but once it appeared, it seemed to have its own will, twisting rapidly at Ning Qi's fingertips, trying to escape Ning Qi's control.

Its writhing posture was just like that of a king cobra; although it was silent, everyone seemed to hear its roar.

The Holy Ancestor's avatar nodded and said:

"I never expected you could control this energy. Zhili and I once speculated that this energy might be the boundless evil energy existing in the Boundary Sea, but we were never certain. I wonder if you could control it so that we could have a look?"

They were also very curious as to how Ning Qi was able to annihilate that group of twisted monsters with just this aura.

Aside from that boundless evil energy, the two couldn't think of anything else that could target the twisted monster.

Therefore, Ning Qi suppressed this wisp of evil energy and made it fly to the side of the Holy Ancestor's clone.

The eyes of the Holy Ancestor's clone and Zhili flashed with brilliance, and they each sent a wisp of energy to the evil energy struggling in the air.

The two strands of golden energy were the same size as the evil energy, and their internal energy was almost equal, containing the Great Dao rules of both.

The moment the golden light touched the evil energy, the evil energy immediately began to writhe even more wildly, like a hungry predator that had smelled meat.

Ning Qi slightly relaxed his control over the evil influences.

Hiss!

The next second, the evil energy rose up, leaped forward, and took the initiative to attack the two golden rays.

Two golden rays burst forth with dazzling light, as blinding as the midday sun.

But what was terrifying was that the evil energy instantly swallowed the two golden rays into its belly.

The Holy Ancestor's clone and Zhili couldn't help but take a step back.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes both showing surprise.

Everyone was taken aback. It was just an energy being absorbed, why such a strong reaction?

“This thing must be that boundless evil energy!” Zhili said.

Seeing the curious expressions on everyone's faces, the Holy Ancestor's avatar explained:

"Those two golden rays just now contained our Dao and our minds, which is why being devoured by them caused us to lose our composure."

Upon hearing this, everyone finally understood.

Cultivators rarely devote their mental energy to combat, because if they do, they will suffer a powerful backlash if they are unable to defeat their opponent.

Therefore, it makes sense that the boundless evil energy devoured the golden light controlled by the two people's minds, causing them to take a step back.

Everyone couldn't help but turn their gaze to the boundless evil energy.

That wisp of evil energy still writhed in the air, like a snake that had just tasted meat, its nature as venomous as a snake's, greedy enough to devour an elephant.

Everyone sensed that after the evil energy devoured the two golden rays, its size instantly doubled, completely converting the two golden rays into its own power!
Upon seeing this, no one could remain unmoved!

Even if it's a heretical cultivation method involving inhumane acts like sacrifice and soul extraction, it's impossible to achieve such a 100% conversion rate.

"What exactly is this boundless evil energy?" Ning Qi asked.

The Holy Ancestor's avatar regained his senses and slowly said:

"Within the Boundary Sea lies great fortune, but also great danger. Among them is a particularly strange and malevolent aura, which the ancients called the Boundless Malevolent Aura."

"This evil energy is inherently imbued with terrifying destructive power, and can even threaten the birth and death of all worlds within the Boundary Sea."

What is immeasurable?
Firstly, this evil energy can continuously devour various forms of energy to increase its own strength.

Secondly, once it gains momentum, it can never be eradicated!

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled once again.

The Holy Ancestor's avatar looked at Ning Qi and said with a wry smile:

“I am now certain that it is indeed boundless evil energy. No wonder you were able to use it to destroy the twisted monster. But what I am more curious about is how you were able to suppress it.”

Ning Qi slightly bent his finger, retracted the evil energy, and resealed it before saying, "Just lucky."

The evil energy was suppressed by the golden key he obtained unintentionally.

Previously, the Golden Key had also shown unusual activity after it appeared at the Golden Immortal Gate, which made Ning Qi realize that it was related to becoming an immortal.

Therefore, he tries to avoid exposing the matter of the golden key as much as possible.

The Holy Ancestor's clone, being an old and shrewd man, naturally discerned the hidden meaning in Ning Qi's words.

He skipped over that part and continued, "With this evil energy, even if more twisted monsters come from the Boundary Sea, we won't have to worry. In fact, you can try to see if you can use this to deal with the Mountain Ancestor..."

Ning Qi nodded.

……

In the turbulent area of ​​the Boundary Sea, Ning Qi's true form reopened his eyes.

He looked around, determined his location based on his connection with the True Martial Spirit Realm, and then shot out in a certain direction.

"According to Feng Baihua and the Holy Ancestor, the army of twisted monsters should be in that direction and is already on its way."

Ning Qi traversed numerous turbulent currents and whirlpools, and after about fifteen minutes, he stopped again.

His figure stood firm like an unshakable reef amidst the turbulent currents of the border sea. Ning Qi stared ahead, feeling a chill run down his spine.

Ahead, the turbulent vortexes of the Boundary Sea appeared in concentric rings, with streaks of blood-red light appearing and spinning within the turbulence.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that behind each of those crimson lights were connected to a mangled body.

As the Holy Ancestor had predicted, the army of twisted monsters arrived and was crossing the sea towards Ning Qi's location.

They came one after another, their numbers impossible to discern in the dark sea.

With Ning Qi's current perception, all he could see was a blood-red light that stretched as far as the eye could see.

He couldn't help but recall something the black donkey had mentioned: if you see a red vortex appearing in the turbulent area, don't say anything, just run!
Ning Qi didn't understand what the red vortex was before, but now that he saw this scene, he immediately understood.

It turned out that a large army of twisted monsters was crossing the sea, and the light emanating from their blood-red eyes, filled with murderous intent, turned the turbulent currents of the Boundary Sea into a red vortex.

What made Ning Qi even more uneasy was the way these twisted monsters crossed the Boundary Sea.

They were all mangled remains, the remains of all kinds of living beings.

From humankind, the most intelligent of all beings, to all creatures on land, sea, and air, not a single complete body can be found. These fragmented remains, once they enter the turbulent vortex, are pulled forward by its currents, spinning within it.

When Ning Qi first saw them, he didn't understand how they were heading in a specific direction.

After all, turbulent vortexes have incredibly powerful pulling forces and are completely unpredictable.

Unless one can break free from the pull on their own, they cannot go directly in the direction they want to go.

But after observing for a while, Ning Qi seemed to understand.

Thinking back to the previous battle with them, these remains could be scattered and reassembled at will.

They seem to have some kind of strange connection; they are not isolated individuals.

It is this connection that allows them to counteract the pulling force of the turbulent currents in the boundary sea, thus linking them together in a strange way and moving in a specific direction.

Of course, there might be things that Ning Qi couldn't understand.

For example, they may have some mysterious connection with the boundary sea, which can eliminate some of the pulling force.

In short, the twisted monster army, though seemingly slow, was actually quite fast. It kept circling in the turbulent currents of the Boundary Sea, yet it consistently headed towards Ning Qi's location, continuously crossing the sea.

Ning Qi swore that if it weren't for finding a way to defeat the Mountain Ancestor, he would never want to see this scene again.

Ning Qi even suspected that the remains of these twisted monsters might have been torn apart by the turbulent currents of the Boundary Sea.

However, he doesn't have the energy to get to the bottom of things right now; the most important thing is to lure the enemy to attack the Mountain Ancestor who is about to become an immortal.

Suddenly, Ning Qi conjured a rope of energy towards the horde of twisted monsters crossing the sea ahead.

From the ropes, pure, living beings released their aura and energy.

These energies and auras all belong to the Mountain Ancestor. When Ning Qi, Saint Ancestor, and Sea Ancestor were trapped by the Mountain Ancestor, Ning Qi analyzed and absorbed a lot of the Mountain Ancestor's power. Now, Ning Qi took out a portion of it to feed these cute twisted monsters.

Ning Qi pulled hard, and instantly, the rope shot across the sky, whipping towards the turbulent currents of the Boundary Sea ahead.

Puff puff!
The turbulent waters of the boundary sea instantly seemed to boil, spewing out countless bubbles.

The crimson gazes of all the twisted monsters instantly converged on the rope.

Those that were closest lunged at the end of the rope, bit down, and began to tear at it desperately.

"Whoosh, roar, hiss, kill..."

Various terrifying howls rose and fell, converging together due to the swirling currents of the Boundary Sea, forming a roar encompassing all things.

Ning Qi felt an extremely strong tearing force that almost pulled the rope out of his hand, and he even lost his footing.

"very good!"

Ning Qi smiled slightly, instantly severing the rope that was being gnawed at in front of him, and using the remaining energy rope as bait to lure the twisted monster forward.

"Come with me, everyone. I want to see if the Mountain Ancestor, who has become an immortal, will think it's a pleasant surprise to see you all?"

"Roar!!!"

Ning Qi led the way, followed by the twisted monster, as they continued their journey back to the location of the Mountain Ancestor.

……

The Boundary Sea, which originally belonged to the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm, now no longer contains any worlds.

Only one ball of light, radiating silver light, remained, standing motionless in the Boundary Sea like a silver egg.

Around the silver light cluster, silver fairy patterns fluttered, like dandelions drifting in the wind, or like feathers floating in the air.

They contain the secrets to becoming immortals, and from time to time they will spontaneously merge into the silver egg and disappear.

With each additional piece absorbed, the aura within the silver egg grows stronger.

Gradually, I don't know how much time passed.

Only three pieces of the fluttering silver immortal patterns remained, yet to be integrated into the silver egg, when this boundary sea was met with a terrible impact.

Suddenly, the silver ball of light moved, shifting several times and leaving afterimages that made it difficult to see clearly.

A bright, silvery full moon emerged from the boundary sea, releasing pure, flawless rays of light that spread outwards.

This boundary sea recedes when exposed to light, like the receding tide, making a rushing sound.

A burly silhouette gradually emerged from the silvery full moon.

A man suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils containing nebulae.

As the nebula shifted, a full moon eventually swept by, replacing it.

The man opened and closed his eyes several times, and the strange phenomena of nebulae and full moon gradually subsided. He seemed to have been asleep for ten thousand years before finally awakening.

The mountain ancestor raised his right hand and glanced down slightly.

His right hand was as white as snow, and it seemed to be covered with feathers of light.

Each feather of light contained the Great Dao, which was being infused into his body.

"Is this the true meaning of attaining immortality?"

The Mountain Ancestor murmured.

Suddenly, he raised his head and looked around. There were still three immortal patterns floating around him, swirling around him.

These three immortal patterns transformed into three small, spinning balls.

Samsung is back!

These three stars represent the sun, moon, and stars, as well as the past, present, and future. They also represent the three gateways to immortality within the human body, which are infinitely mysterious and represent the final step in the cultivation process of the Buzhou Mountain lineage to achieve immortality.

In an instant, three silver stars fell into the forehead, heart, and dantian of the Mountain Ancestor, respectively.

In the next instant, the full moon's light gradually receded and entered the body of the Mountain Ancestor.

The three silver stars suddenly released boundless light within his body, making the Mountain Ancestor seem to transform into a being of light.

The three stars seemed to be moving, eventually converging into one.

"When my body, mind, and will are united, and the sun, moon, and stars converge, there is no longer a past, present, or future. By transcending the boundary between life and death, one achieves immortality!"

The mountain ancestor was muttering incantations.

He emerged from the light, completely transformed from head to toe, inside and out.

His once black hair had turned silver, each strand glowing with light, and a mountain-shaped immortal seal shone brightly on his broad forehead.

"It's a pity that I didn't achieve the Golden Immortal Body, but only the second-rate Full Moon Immortal Body!"

The Mountain Ancestor seemed to sigh, then looked towards the Boundary Sea.

His eyes were like a full moon, radiating a flowing silver light.

The mountain ancestor frowned slightly, and couldn't help but lightly cover his nose, revealing a look of disgust.

It seemed that the Boundary Sea before him not only polluted his immortal eyes, but even his breathing was polluting his nose.

"Indeed, one cannot know the filth of the Boundary Sea until one becomes an immortal; to become an immortal, one must leave the Boundary Sea."

The Mountain Ancestor held his breath, ceasing to breathe, and emitted a layer of immortal light, isolating the Boundary Sea from the outside.

"Now, let me end all of this!"
